    Salesforce
    It is a helpful tool, but it can be a bit cumbersome to manage. It is also a bit expensive, but we already use CRM for Salesforce and it is convenient to be able to immediately tag contacts and accounts when the tickets come into the system and tie them directly to the account. I do know an integration with Jira is possible (we use Jira internally for our engineering team to escalate issues) but it is not configured right now so managing the connection between support tickets and Jira tickets is manual and hard to keep up with

    Well suited for advocate process streamlining - being able to assist advocate/agents with processes and guidelines. Also able to deliver automated work vs manual to assist with call. We need to enhance the back end data to support integration with other bots and data acknowledgment. I have found the tools we are building very helpful to agents/advocates, but to create an output based on these tool to monitor behavior has ben challenging

    Pros
    Salesforce
    • Allows us to make changes quickly and with relative ease
    • Can be flexible enough to use among several teams who do very different work
    • Salesforce in general provides SO much training that anyone on the team can skill up and help maintain the system

    Cons
    Salesforce
    • There is a slight scope for error, but sometimes it has a heavy impact. So this can be improved.
    • Costing is high.
    • Maintenance is more.
    • Expertise is required for implementation.
    • The number of communication messages have some limit per organisation account.

    • As someone who learned WFM and Verint CX Automation early this year the UI menus (how and where things are broken down) is not intuitive.
    • Verint CX Automation can be a great resource but it's difficult to navigate and bookmarked pages get moved. For example the "What's New" page and corresponding Coming Soon in WFM and behavior changes pages have been moved twice in the last few months alone.
    • The security privileges are also not very user friendly. When trying to trouble shoot what additional access needs ot be given to someone to gain access to a specific feature in the system it's not intuitive.
    • Your release notes have changed sections and are not consistently published in the same place for availability. This inhibits our organization from reviewing them in advance and preparing for any changes or bug fixes we were unaware of and to setup our lab for testing.

    Professional edition works best for a small company with lower call volumes and is very useful but as you grow exponetially I think it has limited ability to do all the things we want to - SLA management, defect, release management to name a few. Reports and dashboards being available in real time.

    Usability

    I had Salesforce experience prior to using Service Cloud which made it a little easier to learn and navigate, but overall my team (some who had no Salesforce experience) caught on very quickly and found Service Cloud to be easy to use.

    Reliability and Availability
    Salesforce
    Salesforce's Trust Center clearly communicates occasional issues to anyone who subscribes, down to an organization's cloud instance. Bundled sandboxes ease updates, and seasonal upgrades are seamless, scheduled well in advance with plenty of information about what's coming. Support agents have noticed intermittent Omni-Channel disconnects due to internet connections, and these are clearly notified.

    Performance
    Salesforce
    The Salesforce Service Cloud generally has very good performance, however the overall new Lightning user experience can bring that down. For example, if you have too many tabs open, then it can take a while for the Lightning UI to load. This UI is probably not well equipped to handle loading of all of that information at once, but Users tend to leave their tabs open all day long. It can also be fickle depending on which browser you use, what extensions you have installed, and whether you've cleared your cache. This can be the downfall with any software as a service though, not just Salesforce

    Support Rating
    Salesforce
    Salesforce offers support, although it generally gets routed to overseas support teams first, and once they are unable to help, it gets escalated up the chain to higher tiers. Frequently, the answer back from support is that there is no native solution, and we either have to turn to the AppExchange for some solution provided by another developer, or custom build our own solution.

    In-Person Training
    Salesforce
    Our in-person training was provided by our implementation partner and it was quite good. This was in part because we were already working with them and so it naturally leant itself to a good training relationship. And because they were building our customizations and configuring things, they could then provide training on those things naturally.

    Online Training
    Salesforce
    Trailheads are great but it was often unclear what actually applied to our organization. This made it difficult to get a whole lot out of it. Part of it is that because the basic Salesforce features didn't quite work for us, we had to add customizations, which then nullified a lot of the training.

    I would go through an implementation very differently knowing what I know now. It was difficult coming from systems we liked in post-sales service and having to adapt to the clunky and underwhelming feature set in Salesforce. I would trim back our expectations

    Salesforce service cloud is more configurable than Zendesk and Freshdesk. It has its own inbuilt AI chatbot also which further improves service agent efficiency. Salesforce is more integration agnostic and has pre-built connectors with multiple 3rd party systems. However, in terms of pricing it is priced at a premium compared to the other solutions

    We have the five9 version of Verint CX Automation which took the place of Business IC Manager. The ease of use and real time coaching capabilities have been instrumental to give immediate coaching and understanding what our customer agents are doing at any given time. The canned reporting and transcription could improve.

    Return on Investment
    Salesforce
    • Because this is a cloud service, the security, implementation framework and feature list is very mature and you don't have to develop these during implementation.
    • The larger the implementation programme the better the licensing arrangements
    • Free developer toolkit for proof of concepts or showcasing features
    • Limited to annual subscription model

    • Verint CX Automation lacks the Training expertise to assist clients to make the best of the software
    • If existing Verint WFO/WFM experience exists on staff, Verint CX Automation can be taken to the next level.
    • The product and company itself is rock solid, you can never go wrong with Verint as the name itself brings confidence to businesses
